Hello I have players joining in week 3 and some players that may not play every week.  Is there any way to give a player who does not play a week a tie breaker value for the week they did not play?  Example new players this week are at top of leaderboard with 0,  a 25 for the week seems more fair.  Thanks in advance

That's a great observation! I sometimes forget that the tie-breaker is like golf, the lower the better. :) How about 20 points for each week missed? In my 21 year bookie pool, the career worst is 22/game (best was 7/game), so 20 is a pretty harsh penalty.

I'll have this fixed tonight, and will go back and correct those newbies in your league.
